A chef employed by an established fast food outlet was about 04:30hrs on Sunday morning arrested for trafficking in narcotics at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport just as he was about to board a flight destined for the Bahamas.
The 26-year-old East Ruimveldt resident who was on the Police radar for sometime now, has admitted to the law enforcement officials that he swallowed thirty-five cocaine pellets, which was subsequently confirmed by an x-ray.
The suspect who is under police guard at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), has so far excreted fourteen pellets which amounted to one hundred and forty-six grams.
